00:00Now it's to sit down with Eggo Wodem.

00:02Hi Eggo.

00:03It's that time of year, happy holidays.

00:06This year has been a particularly big one for you,

00:08which must make celebrating with loved ones even sweeter.

00:11What is your absolute favorite tradition?

00:14This time of year does feel like one big party

00:16we're all in on and just getting together

00:18with family and loved ones and how sentimental

00:21this time of year feels is really special to me.

00:24I love trying different hot chocolates.

00:27That's another thing that I'm very into,

00:29making them myself.

00:31So getting back into that as the temperature has dropped

00:34has been very exciting.

00:35Right now I'm making pumpkin spice matcha lattes at home.

00:39You partnered with Scotch Brown for the holidays.

00:41Tell us about your mission.

00:42When Scotch reached out about this campaign,

00:45the Resting Gift Face campaign,

00:47I was so excited because it feels so relatable.

00:49Gift giving can be such an interesting, awkward interaction.

00:54I don't want this mess.

00:55I'm also notoriously pretty bad at wrapping gifts.

00:58Like I just can't quite get it right.

01:01And as a sometimes perfectionist that gets to me.

01:04So this tape is pretty amazing in that even on set

01:07as I was playing with it, I'm like, oh, it's so easy to use.

01:10And it really does make everything look so neat and pretty.

01:14It seems like people work tirelessly to get to SNL and work tirelessly to stay on.

01:19And you've succeeded with all of that.

01:21So now that the world is your oyster, how does that feel as you look ahead?

01:24I'm so excited for the future.

01:27This feels very exciting.

01:28I'm over the moon.

01:30Lots of things to get my fingers in.

01:32Lots of muscles to flex and develop.

01:34And that feels super exciting.

01:36So the podcast is one thing that has been really fun to do.

01:39You can listen to it anywhere you get your podcast.

01:42Watch us talk.

01:43But I also carry lotion on me, guys.

01:46Wink.

01:46I'm in Mindy Kaling's NSFW that will be premiering soon enough.

01:50Such a fun cast.

01:51I'm in Little Brother for Netflix, which will be coming out in 2026 sometime.

01:56We had a ball shooting that one.

01:58That was like summer camp for us.

01:59And so just more work, more fun and, you know, all the good things.
